It's Spring Break for most elementary-aged kids in my neck of the woods. For those who didn't enroll their kidlets into a spring break camp and have them at home, it can be a challenge to find activities to keep them engaged all day long. Although my daughter is going to a performing arts camp during the day, we still did #3 tonight!
Photography is a great way to lead into an activity, and gives you the bonus of making amazing memories. They will grow up before you know it, and the barbie-messes, marker piles and toy cars underfoot will be a thing of the past.
Here are 5 great activities that you can do this week. Since I'm a day late (hey, first day of Spring Break was hectic!), you can do one on the weekend! Have your camera at the ready!
1. Summer in Winter
Lucy Baum Montreal Family PhotographyCreative Photo Ideas for Spring Break
We're all impatient for warmer weather. Unpack those summer things, and let them make fun combinations! Bathing suits, shorts, flip flops, sun hats. Challenge them to make a few unique looks and then have them model their choices for the camera. Not only is this fun, but they'll want to be photographed because they feel like runway models. Bonus tip: get out the beach blow-up toys, towels and sand pails to make a mini-beach right inside the house! Play some Beach Boys, and get everyone in the mood! Then when they're playing, take some candid shots.
2. Use items NOT as they're intended

Put a bunch of stuff out on the table. Then, ask your kids to find creative ways to use those items. You can even get specific and ask them to find 3 different ways of using each item, or make a little competition where each has to come up with a use for the same item, and then you vote on the most creative - in the nicest spirit of course! Examples: goggles as sunglasses, baskets as hats, pipe cleaners as moustaches. Pants as shirts, or inside out. The list goes on! Then they're ready for fun photos! Bonus tip: Have them make up characters to go along with how they use their things and it might just make for playtime even when the camera is put away. That can equal some parental down time, and even the Ipad can take a break!
3. Dance Party

Have the kids dress in their party best, and throw a dance party! Create a fun music playlist that has their favourite songs, and some awesome dance beats, and you're set! Bonus tip: Choreograph some steps for them, or call out moves as they dance - hands up in the air, down on the floor, twirls, jumps! Action shots are a ton of fun and the best way to capture is to anticipate the shot. For example, before you call out for them to jump, make sure you've pre-focused on the spot where they'll be (in the air) so you can click as soon as they're in the frame!
4. Meet their favourite friends
Lucy Baum Montreal Family Photography5 creative photo ideas for spring break
I mean the furry ones, as in, their army of stuffed toys. If your kids are anything like my girl, they'll have a name for, and know the personality of each one. The personalities they project onto their stuffies are a reflection of their own, so that family of fur is an extension of your little ones! You want to make sure to get photos of these guys, because they represent a little bit of who your children are. I still have some of my childhood stuffies, that have been passed on to my daughter. Have your kids set them up in poses - they can get creative here! Bonus tip: Get your kids to do those same poses. When they see how cooperative their stuffies were, they'll be happy to smile for the camera!
5. Before and after
Lucy Baum Montreal Family Photography5 creative photos ideas for Spring Break
This one has an extra bonus of tidiness! Take a before picture of a cluttered or messy space - their bedroom, a playroom. Ask them to clean it all up, and take an after picture. Tell them about the activity beforehand so they're motivated to clean up. In the after photo, challenge them to find the differences; where things were put away; what has disappeared. Bonus tip: It can also be a source of pride, when they see how their efforts paid off!

I having a slightly naughty chortle watching new activists have to go through the learning curve I had my whole 20s to work through, only they have about one week. Schadenfreude (a little) – but mainly admiration.
People in the USA have had a pretty intense week so far. It's good to see so many more political posts on Facebook and people going to protests and taking action for the first time ever.
There's also a lot of very, very full-on debating going on about what the best way to be an activist is (clue: nobody has the right answer). We're all learning, listening, getting our feelings hurt and ideas challenged.
Although I can't be happy about how this all came about, I am pleased to see so many people stepping up.
Welcome to the revolution, my friends!
PS You never stop learning, you never stop being challenged, you'll never get to be certain or perfect or right all the time – but you'll be OK. I'm still bloody clueless but I seem to manage.

Re: AHERNs of Boston and Cambridge
In reply to:
AHERNs of Boston and Cambridge
My great grandparents were Mary Ahern (b. 1863)and Frank Gannon (b. 1860) in Boston. They started on Washington Ave, then moved to Thornton St. in Roxbury.
Their children were:
Edward Gannon (my father's dad)
Francis Gannon
Leo Gannon
John Gannon
Julia Gannon
Jenny Gannon
Mary Gannon
My grandmother told me my grandfather's parents died when he was still a teen-ager. So we don't know much about the Aherns.

16th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
February 26-28, 2017 • Atlanta, GA
| What Can Newborn Hearing Screening Data Tell Us About Factors Associated with Loss to Follow-Up?
What Can Newborn Hearing Screening Data Tell Us About Factors Associated with Loss to Follow-Up?
Today, newborn hearing screening (NBHS) is widely accepted and its importance and benefits have been recognized worldwide. Although the percentage of infants being screened in the United States (U.S.) has increased dramatically from 38% in 2000 to 95% in 2007 following the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) recommendations, approximately 50% of those who do not pass are not documented as having returned for appropriate follow-up to (a) confirm the hearing loss, (b) be fit with hearing technology, or (c) receive additional intervention. These infants are referred to as "lost to follow-up". In general, children with congenital hearing loss who receive early intervention have better outcomes than those who are diagnosed later in life. Therefore, it is essential that infants who do not pass their newborn hearing screening receive follow-up diagnostic testing and appropriate services in a timely manner.
The Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences (DHSS), Division of Audiology performs screenings in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and well baby nursery (WBN) on approximately 4,500 babies a year. The primary goal of this project was to develop a data repository that would allow for the compilation of infant characteristics and screening data in Vanderbilt's newborn nurseries and use the data collected for quality monitoring and investigation of possible factors associated with loss to follow up in addition to several other goals such as:
1. development of a REDCap data repository, to include data on patient demographics, screening results, and risk factors for hearing loss;
2. documentation and description of potential factors that might be associated with lost to follow-up, including infant and family demographics; and
3. calculation of the percentage of children receiving intervention less than one month after diagnosis, as recommended by the JCIH and an estimate of the institutional loss to follow-up rate.
- Creation of a data repository and data management
- Using data to identify potential factors for loss to follow-up
- How our data can help us improve referral and follow-up rates

A journalist and his camera operator were detained in Tiananmen Square live on British television on Friday, in what he described as a surreal but telling episode about reporting in China.
Viewers of the 24-hour British channel Sky News were treated to the bizarre sight of reporter Mark Stone being directed into a police van live from Beijing.
He reported live from inside the van, admitting that the Chinese officials with him — one of them filming Stone herself — probably did not realise he was speaking directly to London.
The team were then taken into a room where they were told to await questioning.
The square is a popular tourist site near the regime's nerve centre and the scene of 1989 democracy protests that were crushed by thye Chinese authorities.
A police officer was filmed asking the Sky team to switch off their camera, saying they were now inside the Forbidden City and did not have permission to film there.
Stone, who was in Beijing reporting on China's leadership transition, said the police had been "utterly civil" throughout the incident.
While they had permission to film in the square, Stone said police told him the team were not displaying their passes correctly, and noted he was not carrying his passport as required.
China's foreign ministry insists that press censorship does not exist in the country, but journalists report the constant threat of interference from government officials.

Title Witness #8
Author Kashi, Ed
ISBN: 9781590052686Condition: Hardcover
|Ed Kashi is an award-winning photojournalist, filmmaker and educator dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times. A sensitive eye and an intimate relationship to his subjects are signatures of his work. As a member of the prestigious photo agency VII, Kashi has been recognized for his complex imagery and its compelling rendering of the human condition. For his contribution to the JGS series "Witness", Kashi has delivered a powerful and deeply moving view into his world and career. "As a photojournalist who travels extensively around the world, home for me has always been a shifting term, with shifting people and shifting objects vying for my attention. Upon meeting Julie Winokur in 1992, that dynamic was forever altered. When we married in 1994, a pattern of recording journals addressed to Julie was already firmly established. In keeping with the changing times, what began as paper journals was replaced with daily emails by 2000. Encompassing nearly 20 years, this book is a selection of these journal entries from various locations around the world written for my wife. (...) The very act of creating this book touches upon my desire to reach out to others and to report on issues throughout the world. I am constantly looking for ways to expand the conversation of my work and the medium of photojournalism; to ultimately broaden the ways in which we tell stories and share our personal feelings. In a sense, this book is a different way to look at the world using both internal and external impressions, words and images. The depth of my feelings, touched so deeply and so often by the realities I witness, are the testimony I want this collection to reveal." ? Ed Kashi.\n

Florida's governor and a former state lawmaker are running for U.S. Senate in a Republican primary race increasingly seen as a collision of establishment party leaders and grassroots party activists -- and the establishment candidate's days of playing nice are over.
Gov. Charlie Crist's campaign told Fox News this week that Marco Rubio, the state's former House speaker, won't get a free pass any longer. With Rubio hitting the front-runner hard and gaining traction, the Crist campaign intends to hit back.
Florida is an important swing state as Republicans look ahead to the 2012 presidential election, and some see the soul of the national party at stake in this 2010 Senate battle between Crist and Rubio
Crist recently added two well-regarded campaign veterans: Eric Eikenberg as the new Crist campaign head and Andrea Saul as the campaign's new communications director. The campaign is focusing on engaging Rubio in counterpunches and initiating punches of its own, an aggressive new strategy that some in the local media have described as negative.
But Rubio, 38, isn't backing down.
"I think Charlie Crist is desperate; he has a serious credibility crisis," Rubio told Fox News. "Desperate people do desperate things, but for us it is not a problem.
"This campaign is about the issues. Whether he likes it or not, we are going to win," he said.
On Wednesday, a reporter in Tallahassee asked Crist why he was "taking the gloves off" against Rubio.
"No reason, no reason, (but) people deserve to know the facts," Crist said.
The facts, the Crist campaign says, are that Rubio has weaknesses on two significant conservative fronts: gun rights and illegal immigration. The Crist campaign charges that Rubio did not do enough on either issue during his tenure as head of the Florida legislature.
The Rubio campaign fired back that Crist is misleading the voting public with distortions of their Rubio's record. The campaign suggests Crist, who essentially had been ignoring Rubio, finally acknowledges a formidable threat to what was considered an easy primary win for the once immensely-popular governor.
Florida GOP insiders say Crist's embrace of President Obama's $787 billion federal stimulus package in February increased his vulnerability within the party. Crist even appeared on stage with Obama at a large, pro-stimulus rally in Florida.
Conservative critics, vehemently opposed to the stimulus, won't let Crist live that down. And some say Crist has compounded his problems by appearing to waffle on his support of the stimulus in recent weeks.
The Crist campaign has countered by saying the stimulus package has helped a beleaguered state that's been one of the hardest hit in the current recession. But while some other Republican governors, including Louisiana's Bobby Jindal and Alaska's Sarah Palin, opposed the stimulus, Crist has turned many grassroots conservatives -- and anti-Washington Tea Partiers in and out of the state -- against him.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which is backing Crist, stands by his record on the national stage as a successful campaigner and fundraiser. And despite Rubio's momentum, Crist still holds a massive campaign war chest, four times the size of Rubio's, and he continues to retain a double-digit lead in most polls with more than nine months to go until the August GOP primary.

Dear colleagues:
I had a conversation with Chilen technologist that said me the process to calibrate the Optima 660 with a NON CENTERED phantom is incorrect.
Service manual point that I must rise table 40mm from laser center to calibrate SMALL and other 40mm to LARGE. Of course, images obtained are not centered and look cut upside.
Am I interpreting manual erroneously?

Everyone has their favorite Christian movie and a unique reason why it is their favorite. What makes mine special is the impact it has had on my life. My first True Story Christian Movie that I ever watched changed the course of my life forever. It got me started on a path that became Movie Ministry. I have seen films that were more impressive, but none that left a bigger impression on me.

This blog is really an outlet for my insatiable itch to write and discuss topics that I find interesting; most of which, as of late, center around Women's issues. As a woman born in North America, I can consider myself amongst the lucky minority of women who has experienced very little direct sexism, or personal cases of inequality next to men.
That being said I am a well informed individual who keeps up with the latest news here, and around the world, and I am consistently appalled by the mistreatment of women – everywhere.
But before you read this and think that this blog is a dedicated Man-hating site, it is not.
Gender equality was reached not only by the heroic efforts of women and their push to accept nothing short of the same rights and privleges that men recieved, but by heroic Men involved as well, and their shared belief that a better society is only reached when all of its inhabitants can live peacefully and equally amongst one another.
This blog is not always going to be serious, though it will certainly contain touchy, topical discussions about serious issues. Each entry will give its best to have humor alongside insight, unless I feel that the subject is such that humor would only add unnecessary offense.
As for myself, I am a twenty-something girl living in Toronto who is addicted to reading, writing, and reddit-ing.

We just got back yesterday from a couple of nights camping at Priest Lake, ID! I always feel revived after one of our camping trips. It's time well spent being jammed together in our tent, playing, getting dirty and eating camp food.
Camping was an area that we actually talked about nixing when we started out debt pay down. Some people are so focused on getting a rid of their debt that they cut all unnecessary expenses which, in turn, gets them out of debt faster. That really is the goal -work hard, concentrate our efforts, then reap the rewards of being debt-free. I, for sure, would never knock someone who approaches their debt pay down this way. These are the same folks that are able to not eat out, which I admire.
After talking about it, we decided to come in somewhere in the middle: still camp, but stay closer to home. No Oregon Coast beach camping for us for a while. Also factoring into our decision were two things: you can't go back and re-create memories as a family. They are always going to get older-you have one shot at it. Secondly, we had bought most of the supplies we needed last summer (Yay! Those items were actually paid for, not charged). We're able to borrow what ever else we need thanks to gracious friends and family.
So, I'm estimating that our trip this weekend cost us about $60, figuring gas and reservations. For food, I'm my estimate is about $20. Well worth it!
We plan on at least two more trips this summer. One to see friends in Montana and another trip to Farragut St. Park if we can get reservations. I'm so glad we can camp in the middle of the week-we have a lot more flexibility! In the end, camping, for us, fits within our budget and our debt pay-down.
Where do you like to go camping? I'd love to hear about your favorite place!

"There are many opportunities to participate in firm committees, to be involved in outside organizations, and to actively pursue professional development. I have gotten a lot of support to pursue these types of activities."
- Wylie Levone, Partner, Washington, D.C.
My practice encompasses a broad range of cross-border transactions, with an emphasis on project and corporate finance.
Getting to know Hogan Lovells
My criteria when identifying a firm included: an office in the Washington, D.C. area; a 2000 or less billable hour requirement; a strong transactional practice; and a meaningful practice related to Israel, where I had lived prior to law school. Hogan Lovells fit the bill.
For me, it is a real advantage to be able to work from my home office regularly. The firm's technology makes that very doable. The relaxed atmosphere that gives me the flexibility to determine where and when I do my work (so long as it is done on time and at the highest level of quality) is very important to me.
As a summer associate I worked on a matter for an Iraqi client that had a claim against the U.S. Army (under the Foreign Claims Act) for damages caused to its property in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It was an interesting assignment, which later, as an associate, I continued to work on.
There are many opportunities to participate in firm committees, to be involved in outside organizations, and to actively pursue professional development. I have gotten a lot of support to pursue these types of activities. This is a place that will support you if you take the initiative and take responsibility for building your career.
I recently relocated to Brazil with my family to establish Hogan Lovells' office in Rio de Janeiro. I am licensed in Brazil as a "Foreign Legal Consultant" and work with non-Brazilian clients on their business activities in Brazil and with Brazilian companies that have business activities outside of Brazil (or contracts governed by U.S. law). It has been a terrific experience and a great challenge, both personally and professionally.
Word to the wise
Come with an open mind; you never know what practice area may pique your interest. And understand that you are responsible for building your own career, it won't be built for you. Craft it to the shape of your own choosing, and be prepared for that shape to change over time.
I focus my practice on international business and finance transactions with an emphasis on project and corporate finance. My work includes negotiating, structuring, and drafting complex agreements; analyzing contracts; advising on dispute resolution; establishing joint ventures; reviewing domestic and international licensing agreements; and advising on matters of international and U.S. business law.
I joined the Hogan team in 2005 after working as a summer associate. Before embarking on my law career, I worked as a project manager for several high-tech companies. I am also a former Sergeant First Class in the Israel Defense Forces. I earned an M.A. in International Relations from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and received my J.D. from Yale.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family through coaching and playing softball, going camping, and participating in synagogue activities.

I pretend I'm not here. I don't look into the eyes of the men who watch me. Leering, lustful eyes – almost the raincoat brigade. Sometimes they touch the girls, making the excuse of poking money into their bra or g-string. I stay back far enough from the edge of the stage so they can't put their paws on me.
I've learnt to gyrate in a way to rouse passion. I take off enough of my costume for their jaws to fall open. I touch my own body. I hate every move I make and every face watching me.
The place is seedy – you should see it in the day light hours – ugly and dirty, but at night with the lights and the mirrors it looks glamorous enough. Most of the other girls earn themselves a bit of extra money on the side – easy to do – just let them slip their fingers into your bra or g-string and accept their invitation. There's a room at the back, with a constant flow of traffic all night long.
I won't do it. The raw sex that is on display and on sale here has put me off for ever I think. Its all empty – the sliding up and down the poles, the flaunting of the body. The sex I think would be soul destroying.
Because I appear to be a bit stand off-ish the 'musical director' decided I could have a special spot. Sort of sex cloaked in innocence. I wear pink tulle, a skirt like a ballerina would wear. They slide the mirrors in a bit closer and angle them around me and my pole. The music is tinny and repetitive. I'm supposed to look like a little girl.
I rise and go on my toes – all that ballet training finally coming in useful – I hold my arms up and pirouette around and around. I can see myself reflected in the glass. I go away into the image as I shed my costume and my innocence – I'm a music box dancer, so pretty, so young. Tinkling, tinkling music. I see my music box, my white music box with pink flowers painted on the lid, and I remember lifting the lid and the dancer – so young, so innocent – rising up and turning round and round. Her face was blank when you looked closely and she turned and turned on demand.
I am the music box dancer.

Weather yesterday was very cloudy, with only patchy sunshine. For some reason Alice didn't want her usual swim, instead she wanted to go over to the play area. So the morning was spent in a mixture of either the outdoor play area, or the indoor Experience Factory, where the play frame is.
I have to say that Centerparcs is absolutely heaving this weekend. It appears to be worse than last weekend, although the queues to use the slides etc. looked about the same. But certainly, as I've said before, the midweek sessions are far less populated than the weekend sessions. As Jacqueline said, this is what we could expect if we came during the summer holidays, too.
Anyway, after a home-cooked burger lunch (cooked from frozen!) Alice went over to Kids' Club, where she was apparently taken to the disco that didn't happen on Thursday. The women at Kids' Club knew all about it, I just got confused since what they said flatly contradicted the flyers we'd been given. Still, Alice loves discos, so what the hey?
Gave Jacqueline and I a little time to ourselves, so we headed off to the nearby town of Vierzon. It is the largest town hereabouts without heading into one of the cities. Having parked the car, we walked along the river (L'Yevre) for a while, and then headed to the main street. We got to a clothes shop, and.....stop! In fairness to Jacqueline it had loads of beautiful kids' clothes, plus a nice selection for Jacqueline. They even did some nice-looking shirts for me! This is the thing that England simply does not have - clothes shops with good designs and reasonable prices. As it was, we restricted the clothes for Alice to a single pair of white and pink cargo pants, but she looked adorable in them.
We arrived back in good time, and I went off to pick up our swimming things leaving Jacqueline to mooch around the dome. Kids' Club is next door to the swimming area, so the plan was to pick Alice up and to go straight there. Meantime, I made use of this new Michelin Guide I'd bought to phone the only rated restaurant in Chaumont to reserve a table for the evening.
As I've already said, the parc is heaving this weekend, so much so that swimming was almost unpleasant. Very packed in the outside area (plus quite overcast too, making us feel quite cold), but even the larger indoor pool appeared absolutely crowded. I ended up getting out early, I'd had enough. Jacqueline too. Of course, Alice remains oblivious to crowds, so she stayed in until we got her out, although even she found it more comfortable to play in the sandpits rather than to swim.
Back to the cottage for a quick change, then off to Chaumont. La Grenouillere. Very well signposted, about 1km out of Chaumont on the Route d'Orleans. Beautiful old building, with excellent food to match. We had an exquisite cocktail to start with - a sparkling white wine with a little added honey and rosemary. An odd combination but absolutely delicious. For starters, Jacqueline had langustines, while I had foie gras (absolutely love it, and had not had it yet this holiday), while for main course we both tucked into a traditional Sologne smoked lamb dish. Very subtle, I have never had smoked lamb before but it was delicious. I think there is no substitute for a good cut of lamb. We even got Jacqueline to try some French cheeses, something she just doesn't do. She didn't like them, but at least she tried them. Cheese is an excellent way, in any case, of taking the taste buds from the main course and preparing them for the dessert.
Ah, dessert...... Hot chocolate pudding, with homemade ice cream - very chocolately. Dreamy.
During all of this, we had ordered the "menu enfant" for Alice. For a very reasonable price, she got a wonderfully prepared three course dinner of pate, chicken and tagliatelle, and homemade ice cream with caramel and chocolate trimming. Absoultely gourmet quality, but did she appreciate it? I ended up eating a large chunk of her pate, not to mention her chicken (which was simply delicious). At other times, we let her wander around the garden (the auberge was in a lovely setting). She did find room, however, for her dessert.
This really is what sets France apart from other nations, the trouble they take to prepare and to serve food (and wine, of course). It is even more than taking it seriously, it is a pure passion about food. Of course, there are "junk" restaurants here as everywhere else, but good food here is surely better than anywhere...
Anyway, enough of my eulogy. Suffice it to say, straight to bed once we got home (after great fun trying to park in a packed-out car park), and to sleep. Except that Jacqueline has been awake most of the night - she says its not indigestion, but she just feels too full-up to sleep. Alice and I had no such problems, although I did wake up early (well, 5:45am, which will be my normal time from next week!!). I appear to have picked up a tickly, annoying cough while we've been here (which when compared to the multitude of bites on my legs is a strikingly odd combination!), which meant I had to get up in order to avoid waking the whole house up.
Have been up now since quite early, but short of putting some coffee on haven't taken any steps toward breakfast. I think Jacqueline is likely to be lying in this morning, given the amount of sleep she had last night, so I'll probably end up taking Alice swimming.
Have been thinking once again about the fact that the clients haven't paid yet - and unfortunately this time it really is quite a bit of money. I'm Ok until we return to England, but if they haven't paid by then everything basically stops. I'll be overdrawn at the bank, for starters, so won't be able to get any cash. In practical terms I simply won't have the means to get to their site, which although it would lose me money would in some ways be quite a good retribution, since they are dependent on my for a couple of pieces of work at the moment. Serves them right. But once again it highlights the need to get some new clients. People are saying that the market (and market rates) have picked up, so I really need to see some of that action. I'm really not punching to my weight with what I'm doing currently.
Ah well, I'll try to put all this to one side until we finish our holiday. Last full day at Centerparcs today, which is quite sad in itself. Hopefully we'll visit Chambord this afternoon, but I'll need to see how Jacqueline feels. Alice has just woken up, and her first question is whether it is the afternoon, so she obviously feels she's had a lie in.
One final thing - before I started writing I put some of yesterday's bread out. Since I started writing I've seen Mr and Mrs Mallard, Mr and Mrs Chaffinch, even a robin and, as Alice has just spotted, a mouse. Wonderful array of wildlife here right on the doorstep.
Will try to get an internet connection now to see if any interesting emails have arrived.

Cerebral wrestler rolls through high-school ranks
Jordan Wong is what you would call a cerebral wrestler.
Oh, and an extremely successful one.
The Rundle College student finished up his high school athletic career with a flourish, winning championship after championship after championship … to dizzying degrees.
In the past few months, here is the list of Wong's gold-medal accomplishments: Calgary senior city high school, Alberta senior high school provincials, Alberta provincial age class (17-18), Canadian age class freestyle (17-18), Canadian age class freestyle (19-20), Canadian age class Greco-Roman (17-18).
Not too shabby.
"Feels pretty good because I've put a lot of work to get there," said the recently turned 18-year-old. "With the help of my teammates and amazing coaches at my club team the ROC, Mike Dunn, and at Rundle."
One of the latter, Neil Domstad, hasn't seen the likes of Wong in his 21 years coaching and 12 years at the high-school level.
"He's by far the best wrestler we've had come through Rundle College," said Domstad. "If you take a look at his accolades over the six years, it's impressive. Just this year alone is pretty impressive. We've had two national champions, several medallists, but no one's medalled as much. He's definitely our golden child so to speak in terms of wrestling."
In six years of competing, Wong has progressively improved his technique. Being an intelligent young man – he scored 100 per cent in both his Gr. 12 Physics and Math provincial exams – he determined what areas he needed to improve upon and has been amenable to the on-mat instruction.
"One of his goals was definitely to win nationals this year and it was kind of cool that he ended up with the Triple Crown so to speak, winning three titles, which doesn't happen very often," said Domstad. "It's something that's pretty rare. In order for him to get there, I think number one he's an extremely committed young man. He works so hard and is so coachable, very easy to ask him to do something and he does it right away.
"Another aspect why he's been successful is the outside training he does. He works on his fitness, works on his technical abilities and that technique as well as his fitness and his determination has taken him to the point where he's got to.
"On the mat, he's a very special individual in that he keeps a level head, no matter what. The humble type of person that he is, he conducts himself the same way on the mat with his opponents, with the officials, with other coaches. Just very respectful. And because he's so level-headed, whether he's up or down in points, doesn't change how he wrestles."
Wong is just as adept in freestyle as in Greco-Roman, a couple of different styles of wrestling.
"He's not a thrower," Domstad said. "But he has a very good ground game. So he gets somebody on the ground, he's able to trap their arms, roll them and score points on the ground. Yeah, it was a surprise to him that he was able to do that, but that's the type of individual he is."
His school year is drawing to a close, but Wong's wrestling schedule continues to heat up. He's currently training for another national title at the upcoming Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg.
"He's on a roll, for sure," said Domstad. "The weight category will be higher (at the Games), but given that, I think he can win that tournament. He's the guy they'll be gunning for."
Wong is one of those athletes any varsity program would love to have. At this point, he hasn't decided on which institution to attend, with the Universities of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Calgary all in the running. Significant consideration will go into his program of study, Pharmacology, Physiology or both, but his sport will also be considered.
"I'm more focused on academics and I just want to do the best that I can in wrestling," Wong said.
"All those schools have good wrestling programs," said Domstad, who was coached by Dinos' head man Mitch Ostberg. "He wants to do well on both, wants to put his best foot forward. He's torn … but I think he's getting closer."
In the meantime, he'll bask in his achievements, which he still can't quite believe.
"It definitely hits me like a month after," Wong smiled. "I'm still kind of shocked."

The Supreme Court recently addressed two bankruptcy issues. In its Merit Management opinion, the Court resolved a circuit split regarding the breadth of the safe harbor provision which protects certain transfers by financial institutions in connection with a securities contract. In Village at Lakeridge, the Court weighed in on the scope of appellate review and whether a bankruptcy court's factual determination should be reviewed for clear error or de novo. These decisions are notable because they provide guidance on previously murky issues of bankruptcy law.

With the release of a blistering report criticizing the state for the Lake Oroville spillway disaster, the biggest question moving forward is whether the state agency in charge of the Oroville project will take the recommendations to heart.
Based on a legislative hearing in the Capitol on Wednesday, that's far from certain.
It was the first legislative hearing since the Independent Forensic Team's report was released Friday. It gave legislators an opportunity to ask questions of the state Department of Water Resources rather than rely on canned statements from DWR's public relations professionals, which is what we got when the report was released.
However, the director of DWR, Grant Davis, wasn't even at the hearing. A deputy director was there to read his notes and answer the tough questions.
No reason was given for Davis' absence and it was unclear whether the deputy director, Cindy Messer, even knew the reason.
Then shortly after the three-hour hearing, DWR sent out a press release announcing that Davis was no longer employed. It didn't say whether Davis quit or was fired, only that he returned to his old job at the Sonoma County Water Agency.
DWR promoted a person from within the California Natural Resources Agency, Karla Nemeth, to be the third DWR director since the spillway started crumbling last February.
The announcement took legislators by surprise. As Assemblyman James Gallagher, R-Yuba City, and Sen. Jim Neilsen, R-Red Bluff, were asking questions at the hearing, they had no idea of the change.
On Twitter, Nielsen vented afterward: "Just sat through a three-hour hearing in which DWR staff pledged more transparency. Not one word about a new director. Is there any wonder there's no trust?"
We didn't hear much at the hearing from DWR about transparency, admitting error or being contrite. Certainly there was nothing in the way of an apology to the tens of thousands affected by the evacuation and its aftermath.
Legislators asked Messer if DWR was overconfident, as the independent report stated. She said no. Joel Ledesma of DWR was asked if he agreed that DWR was reactive rather than proactive. He said no. They were both asked ultimately who was in charge of changing the culture at DWR. They answered it was Grant Davis — who wasn't even there, because he was already out the door.
They were asked about sediment build-up in the Feather River. Legislators said there's no formal plan to address it.
And so it went.
Finally, Gallagher said simply: "What I'm looking for is a firm commitment from DWR to address the issues in this report."
We didn't hear a firm response, only a promise to look at it.
That prompted Gallagher to say, "The first part of the change that has to happen is admitting there's a problem."
A suggestion from Nielsen made abundant sense. He asked if DWR would consider creating a body like the Sacramento River Conservation Area Forum. The agency, now known as the Sacramento River Forum, is a collaborative body, created in the 1980s. It enlists local decision-makers to chart overall planning in the Sacramento River corridor from Redding to Verona. A major goal of that group was to ensure that farmers, landowners, cities, counties, interested organizations, wildlife and fisheries managers, and just regular citizens are all involved and in the loop on decision making.
Let's hope the new DWR leader, assuming she lasts longer than the last two, is receptive to the idea.
Moving the Oroville project from a secretive and insular state agency to a more inclusive public group would be one of many welcome changes.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) announced the release of a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concerning traffic crashes and fatalities for 2015. Of particular interest to motorcyclists is the fact that motorcycle fatalities rose 8.3 % between 2014 and 2015. This report comes roughly four months after a similar report was issued by the Governors Highway Safety Administration (GHSA) which predicted a 10% rise in motorcycle fatalities for 2015. I have included links to both reports at the end of this article.
While any increase in motorcycle fatalities is unwelcomed news, this latest report should not be met with panic or knee jerk reactions. It is important to keep in mind that traffic fatalities as a whole rose in 2015. According to the NHTSA report, traffic fatalities rose by 7.2 %, with many segments of the transportation community seeing larger increases than motorcyclists. Van related fatalities rose by 9.3%, while SUV related fatalities rose by 10.1%. Pedestrian fatalities rose by 9.5%, and pedalcycling related fatalities rose by 12.2%. It is also important to point out that the 2015 increase in motorcycle fatalities comes after two straight years in which motorcyclists saw decreases in fatalities.
The report failed to draw conclusions as to the reason for the rise in either motorcycle fatalities or traffic fatalities as a whole. However, with regard to motorcycle fatalities, the NHTSA report points out two specific findings. One is that all age groups saw increases in motorcycle fatalities except for riders nineteen and under; they saw a decrease of 8.7%. The other issue specific to motorcycle fatalities concerns states with universal helmet laws versus those which do not have such laws. The report states that 58% of those killed in states without universal helmet laws were not wearing a helmet, compared to 8% in states with universal helmet laws. I am not sure why NHTSA felt it was important to point that out. One would expect more un-helmeted fatalities in states which allowed adults to choose whether or not to wear a helmet. Motorcyclists as a whole are generally law abiding, and in the nineteen states which require motorcyclists to wear helmets we tend to wear helmets. If NHTSA was attempting to draw a correlation between the lack of universal helmet laws and the 2015 rise in motorcycle fatalities, it failed to effectively do so. The data does not support such a correlation.
According to this year's GHSA report, thirty-one states saw motorcycle fatalities increase while only sixteen states saw a decrease. Of the nineteen states which currently have a universal helmet law, twelve experienced an increase in motorcycle fatalities in 2015. Of the sixteen states which saw a decrease in motorcycle fatalities, only six have a universal helmet law. The other ten either allow adults to make their own choice or have no law at all. The sad truth is that motorcycle fatalities increased across the board.
So what does the NHTSA report mean? As far as this humble writer can tell it means that 2015 was a bad year for motorists in the United States. It means nothing more and nothing less. But that does not mean that motorcyclists should do nothing. Regardless of whether motorcyclists see an increase in fatalities as we have this year, or whether we see a decrease as we have in the past few years, we should always be striving to improve motorcycle safety. So here is a suggestion: If you have not taken a course to improve your skills in the past few (or twenty – you know who you are) years, sign up for one. There are great skills courses offered throughout the country. If you are not a member of a state motorcycle rights organization which promotes motorcycle awareness and education, consider finding one. Every state has them. All of us have an interest in motorcycle safety. Let's make it a priority.
To go one step further, I'll make each of you a deal. In the next year I will take at least one of the many motorcycle courses offered which helps correct the bad habits that we all pick up, and which help us to hone the skills which can be critical in surviving an emergency situation. I will also promise to take a more active role in promoting motorcycle awareness and education. All I am asking is that you promise to do the same. If we all agree to do this, not just in the next year but in all of the upcoming years, we may see fewer years like 2015. You never know. The life you save may be your own – or mine.

Yarn winder

from Dalry parish, Kirkcudbrightshire
Yarn winder
Spun yarn was wound onto a yarn winder to form hanks which were then unwound onto bobbins or reels for weaving, or made into balls of wool for knitting. This wooden yarn winder is from Dalry parish in Kirkcudbrightshire.
Yarn-winder, from Dalry parish, Kirkcudbright
Until the middle of the nineteenth century by far the greatest part of Scotland's population was occupied in either textile manufacture or in agriculture. Spinning and weaving were, for most people, the two most important tasks outside food production.

Making sure your shed has guttering is essentially important for long lasting units. Our universal shed guttering options from BillyOh offer you a screw on guttering system, that will not only catch excess rainwater but also add an authentic look to your outdoor garden building.
Why Is Guttering Important?
If you have a water butt for collecting rainwater then a guttering system for your garden building is the perfect way of gathering excess rainwater. Simply add a pipe which can lead right into the top of your water butt, so that rainwater is stored and ready for when you need it. Our shed guttering kits have a universal fit, so should be adaptable to most outdoor wooden sheds. Guttering for sheds is a great way to add a finishing touch to your building and further enhance protection against rainwater.Less
"The kit is so simple, light to handle and is in working order within minutes. It collects one side of the shed''s rainfall very efficiently. Do you provide a piece of equipment that would allow me to join another gutter on the opposit side across the back of the shed so as to link up with a single watr butt? "

... do. Is it normal to have suboxone feelings of withdrawl because the Dr put me on percocet for 2 wks. My normal dose is 12mg,,, please help
I need advice, I have been on Suboxone for 7months and just had a surgery, I need to know what to?
Added 26 May 2010:
I feel shaky, and sweaty and irritated. I need advice, last dose of sub was two days ago. now im on percocet 30mg/day from 12mg sub.
Responses (3)
The only one I can think of who can help is subzero58. Go to "find a member" and type his name in. Or go directly to the members of the suboxone support group and if you have friends there, send a personal note. From what I have heard, if you start feeling withdrawal symtoms, it's safe to start on the subs. Please double check on that. You may want to start on a lower dose at first and increase from there if it doesn't work. Good luck to you. I hope you feel better soon!
Dear Subuser,I do not think you should keep using subs if you are taking percocet.Please call your Doctor who prescribed your suboxone and tell him asap.If he isn't available call your surgeon or primary care doctor.I don't want to sound like your mother but you should have informed your doctor about ALL the meds you are taking.Please let me know what your doctor says.My guess is your tolerance for the opiate part of suboxone is so high that you can't feel the pain relief from the percocet.Please let me know what happens,okay?God bless and hope you feel better soon:) Peace,Peggie(Daze-be-gone)
Yeah. My doctor prescribed me the percocet. I ended up taking the subs again after the massive withdrawals set in. I have and will take the subs for the rest of my life as I am told by my Doc- seventeen inches of metal, nuts bolts and hinges with three rods from scoliosis and a 74 degree curve in my back. I am fine now that I am back on the medicine i normally take. Thanks for the comments to all of you. I appreciate it alot.
hi subuser31, if you went through with surgery already and you stopped takin your sub 2 days before it your defiantly feeling sub withdraw.if you can get 2 weeks of subutex you can be on other opiates. but if your only option is suboxone or percs stick with suboxone.get that oxy codone out of your system for 18-24hrs.if your sub doc is ok with givin you subutex for 2 weeks do it. but if your keepin the percs secret your only gonna feel like shit till the naloxone from suboxone is out of your system.if you want more info add me as a friend,ill do same then i will try to help all i can. subzero58 ... pete
Dear Subzero,I too was on Kadian and Lortabs also the same time.Along with sleeping meds (Restoril,Lunestra,Ambien).Please tell me how I can write to you directly as I have a bunch of questions for you.Thanks so much:) Peace Peggie(aka daze-be-gone)
Hi, this is right on the mark. Go with this advice. TWO... the medical gal
one of the active ingredients in suboxone, as most of us know, is Naloxone... just about ANY form of narcotic pain killer (lortab, oxycodone, morphine, etc.) will react with the Naloxone, and induce "dope-sick" or withdrawal feelings... Stick with the suboxone, and you'll go back to feeling just fine.

This boys' love visual novel features four handsome adventurers exploring an ancient, magical site — known simply as the Cathedral.

Reflecting on Pocket Mirror
If you're still keeping up with RPG Maker horror games in 2016 (I know I am!), then first of all the two of us need a new hobby, and second of all you've probably heard that the twinkly lolita spectacle Pocket Mirror has finally been released, three years after its initial demo, and clocking in at around 6 hours, it's an artistic behemoth. How does Pocket Mirror compare to games like Ib and The Witch's House, which it credits as sources of inspiration? Well, since the good stuff about this game should be immediately obvious (spoiler alert: it's the artwork), in this review I'll do what I do best and focus on the bad stuff! I am fun at parties.
Welcome to the Game: a Russian Encounter
In Welcome to the Game, you search the Deep Web for the hidden address of what is apparently the only Red Room — that is, a website where you can view and interact with a snuff film in real time (Like, Twitch plays murder basically) — in existence. Red Rooms are fairly well accepted as a myth, but that never stopped our imaginations from putting games on Steam. And now, thanks to the help of your friend Adam, you have all the necessary tools to hack and double-forward-slash your way across a pretend version of the anonymous internet.
Zero Time Dilemma Review
Finally, six years after the North American release of 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors and four years after Virtue's Last Reward made the scene — after a drought of nothing but bad news for the future of the franchise — arrives the third and final game in the Zero Escape trilogy, Zero Time Dilemma, available on Steam no less, the one that was supposed to amaze us, knock us dead, answer all our lingering questions in a whiz-bang, no holds barred finale, and still get us home in time for dinner. So how does it hold up?
Pony Island Review
Disenfranchised after his work in the Bible, Satan has been busy as an indie game developer, and is currently working on the twenty-somethingth iteration of his magnum opus, Pony Island. Now it's up to you to beta-test this hellish, horse-themed endless runner, traversing fences, flying across bottomless pits, and shooting lasers at wizard goblins. Save the imprisoned souls of the arcade as you hack your way through Pony Island's terrible source code and the artefacts of its entire development history, including the early text-adventure version, the 3D version, the adventure game version, and the version with a mascot.

HAVE Australia's youth finally come up with a brilliant ploy to reverse the intergenerational inequity of the housing market?
This graph certainly suggests so. Asking mum and dad for help to buy a house is surging. Parents are not only shelling out for deposits, but also helping kids pay back their loans.
This is wonderful for some young Aussies. But not everyone is in the same lucky position.
Not all Australian families have the resources to finance a new home for the kids. While 10 per cent of Aussie households have more than $1.8 million in total assets, another 10 per cent have less than $10,000. So whether you can wring an $80,000 deposit out of the olds depends a lot on who they are.
If you have a sole parent, the chances are worse still — poverty levels are higher and wealth is lower among sole parent households than for couples with children.
The housing market is already tough to get into. Most first homeowners grants are gone but prices are still rising — parental contributions probably only make prices higher.
But the bank of Mum and Dad could be doing more than making Australia's housing market increasingly unfair. It could be making it more unstable.
There are two main risks in parents turning themselves into home lenders.
1. When the parents want the money back.
2. When they don't want the money back, but they've got the kid into a home they can't really afford.
Either way, it adds a layer of complexity into the financial system by loading kids up with money banks might not know about.
Banks are limited by lending rules. They may bend or break these rules from time to time but they mostly adhere to them. Overgenerous parents, meanwhile, have no idea how to do prudential management and could easily overextend their kids.
The problems only multiply when the money the parents are accessing comes from refinancing their own homes — creating a cavalcade of apparent property wealth that could all be at risk in case of lost earnings or a broader property downturn.
While the scale of parental lending remains quite modest for now, the 2014 Financial Systems Inquiry made direct mention of the way risks emerge outside the main financial channels:
"History tells us that the next financial crisis never looks quite like the last. It is not possible to know for certain where systemic risks will arise; however, it is perhaps more likely that they will emerge outside the prudentially regulated part of the financial system, such as in the shadow banking sector, where oversight is more limited."
When we talk about shadow banking, we mostly talk about China, where close family connections and black market money lenders create an elaborate network of financing that rivals the scale of China's banks. Over there, shadow banking is a real and present danger to the health of the economy.
Australia's problem is not at the same scale. But for people already worried about the housing market and Australia's growing private debt pile, it adds another straw to the camel's back.
With the US contemplating further interest rate rises within months, it is only a matter of time before Australia's period of record low rates comes to an end too. And an apartment supply surge could also put Australia's house prices under pressure. If that happens, every overextended borrower could help contribute to a price slide becoming a price crash.

A blog about lovely Waterlooville, a small, environmentally damaged town in Hampshire, UK. Waterlooville was founded after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as troops from that conflict returned home and passed through Hampshire. Having grown from a small village to a suburban sprawl, Waterlooville faces serious environmental challenges today and in the future.

Bodge Britain
Such is the cowboy loving legislation we have in this nation, courtesy of Westminster Parliament, not the EU.
Cheap short term 'economic' and 'budget balancing' solutions. It's functional, but it looks shit and shows that the accountant is more important than the artist, scientist and designer. But the fact is, making this good could be budgeted in normal maintenance procedures and accounted in taxes.
If you want Britain to look good, you have to pay, not just initial costs, but also long term maintenance costs.

The Age Action Alliance will work together to improve the lives of older people and help transform communities into better places to grow older. The Chief Fire Officers Association and the 13 fire and rescue services that have joined collectively make up the biggest industry sector to have joined the Alliance. The launch of the Age Action Alliance comes at a time when the first ever CFOA National Older Persons Strategy is being finalised ready for its launch at the end of the year.
As the first national initiative of its kind, the Age Action Alliance aims to improve the lives of the most disadvantaged older people, prevent deprivation in later life and challenge age discrimination. It will build on successful projects developed by the voluntary and private sectors and government programmes and will champion innovative ways of working to deliver practical solutions.
Prime Minister David Cameron has welcomed the launch of the Age Action Alliance: "People are now living longer, more active lives and we must do more to reach out to older generations, not only to help the most vulnerable but also to better understand their needs and recognise the important role they play in society.
So many older people take an active role in their local community that puts many of us to shame. I want to encourage others to follow in their footsteps, through volunteering and being part of the Big Society so we can all benefit from their experience, knowledge and enthusiasm.
The launch of the Age Action Alliance will unite those working in this sector in celebration of the role of older people in this country and ensure their voice is heard at the very heart of government."
The vision of the Age Action Alliance is that it will be informed by older people themselves. It will tackle several issues relevant to older people, including public health and active lifestyles, safe warm homes, improving the lives of excluded groups, combating loneliness and isolation, working on age-friendly neighbourhoods, promoting digital inclusion and new attitudes to ageing.

3rd Seat; 1st Row

by James Landrith
Looking at her from across the room,
does she know what I'm thinking?
While I detach myself from the occupants of the room,
does she know what I'm thinking?
Does she care?
Sitting here in the safety of my chair,
I don't have to commit my thoughts to action.
Embarrassment or immaturity is my fear.
Only here, in the safety of my chair,
can I realize that fear.
